First of all I must apologize for being so late in sending my message to your regarding the "leaf" necklace. Thank you Debbie, for reminding me again last week.

I was very thrilled to receive it from my dear friend, Margaret. She said such beautiful things about me - so nice to read but embarrassing as well! When I wore the necklace, I had a warm feeling of her and my many friends. I am so blessed to have such special friends!!

I decided to pass it on to another dear friend, Dorothy. I have known Dorothy a long time. The first time we met was at a BYU football Bowl game in the Los Angeles area. Bob had met Dorothy and her husband at the [Jordan River Temple] Baptistry and thought they were very special. After meeting at the game, we became close friends and we were invited to their home for Thanksgiving dinner for a few years.

Dorothy and I have more in common now because of losing our dear husbands. We know what an empty spot we have in our daily lives. I am so grateful that she is back serving in the Baptistry. I am so grateful for her friendship and love her dearly.

What is Five Necklaces?

Think of it as a sociological experiment: How many women can we learn about? Will we be inspired by them? Will they make us laugh? Or will we just sympathize with the monotony of their day?

I gave my four sisters and my mom a necklace and told them how much I admired them. I then requested that they wear the necklace only once then tell me about their experiences or what they did while wearing it. Then they were to pass it on to someone else they admire...and so on.
